WIRING CONNECTIONS: 12 Pin Input / Output Harness
Black Wire: Chassis Ground Source Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid
clean metal part of the chassis. Be certain to remove any paint or grease and secure this wire with a self-
tapping screw and ring terminal.
GRAY WIRE: Negative Inhibit Input 1
Connect the GRAY wire to the previously mounted hood pin switch provided. This wire will be routed through
the firewall into the engine compartment. It is necessary to use an existing grommet when passing wires
through the firewall to prevent short circuiting. This is an important safety feature of the System, failure to use
this feature can result in serious injury. Route the wire to the pin switch and connect it using the bullet connector
provided.
GRAY w/ BLACK TRACER WIRE: Negative Inhibit Input 2
Any time the gray w/ black tracer wire is grounded, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the signal
is received from the transmitter.
If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches ground to the brake light circuit, connect the Gray w/ Black trace
wire to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches +12 Volts, do not
use the Gray w/ Black wire; see Brown w/ Black tracer wire.
BROWN WIRE: Positive Inhibit Input 1
Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown wire, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the signal is
received from the transmitter.
If the vehicle has a factory installed hood pin switch and that switch provides + 12 Volts to an under hood light,
the Brown wire can be connected to the existing pin switch.
BROWN w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 2
Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown w/ Black tracer wire, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even
if the signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches + 12 Volts to the
brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake
light switch in the vehicle switches ground, do not use the Brown w/ Black wire; see Gray w/ Black tracer wire.
